London's peace talks were just beginning as Eder made improvements to rail transport. Now the British Empire has not gone through two major wars. Although it is not as prosperous as the Victorian era, it is still so majestic and inviolable in the eyes of the Balkan countries.

Representatives of the Balkan countries have long been in London to wait for the representatives of the Ottoman Empire. They include Bulgarian Foreign Minister Tirasloch, Serbian Foreign Minister Milanovic, Greek Foreign Minister Konstantin, Montenegro Foreign Minister Nidnoyav, Romanian Foreign Minister Barno Sk, European powers have sent representatives to participate in the London negotiations. Ottoman's representative, Foreign Minister Kakhevich, also arrived in London on December 11.

In the negotiations that started on the 12th, the Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch took the lead in handing the conditions given by the Balkan countries to the Ottoman representative, Foreign Minister Kakhevich. The conditions are very simple. The Ottoman continental territories west of the line from Enez to Midia in the Black Sea were ceded to the Balkan countries, and all the islands in the Love Sea were also assigned to the Balkan countries. The treaty did not require the Ottoman Empire to pay reparations or to reduce the army.

Kakhevich looked at the conditions in front of him. This is a very harsh peace negotiation condition for Ottoman. However, he still did not forget his professional ethics and asked. "This condition is too harsh for the Ottoman Empire."

Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch answered him arrogantly. "This is our last condition. If Your Excellency thinks it is too harsh, the Ottoman army can take it back on the battlefield."

After he finished speaking, he still looked at Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosk. Barnosk knew what he meant and had talked about it before. Now Bulgaria still owes Romania 4,000 square kilometers of territory. It is the uncle who owes money. He just had to say it out loud. "Romania also believes that this condition is already the biggest favor for the Ottomans, and you don't want to push the border outside Istanbul."

Hearing the words of Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosque, Kahivic had to think for a while. Now Romania, the most powerful country in the Balkans, has not yet come to an end, and Osman has been beaten and collapsed. If he joins Romania, maybe Istanbul will also be captured by the Balkan states.

The remarks of Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch were also echoed by Serbian Foreign Minister Milanovic. "This is the opinion of our Balkan countries. I hope your Excellency will consider it. Forgot to mention that we in Serbia have sent an army to guard the front line with Bulgaria."

After hearing the words of the Serbian Foreign Minister Milanovic, Kajević felt uncomfortable. They had long known that a Serbian army had arrived outside Adrianople. After all, the uniforms were different and easy to identify, but they didn't know the scale. . Hearing it face to face now makes him a little unsure how to answer.

"I need to report the conditions you gave to the government for determination. I'm sorry."

Foreign Minister Kakhevich hurried away with the Ottoman negotiator after a short sentence, leaving behind a whole bunch of others.

After watching the embarrassed departure of the Ottoman representative, Foreign Minister Kakhevich, the representatives of the Balkan countries all burst into laughter. This is the best ridicule by the people of the Balkan countries to the Ottomans who had oppressed them before.

The conditions of the Balkan countries for the Ottoman Empire were passed back to the country by Minister Kahevich. The harsh conditions made the government shocked and angry, but they had no good way to face the 700,000 troops of the Balkan countries. They had looked for Austria-Hungary and Germany before, but how did they support the performance of the Ottoman army, so there was no good way to do this.

But the government's woes have given the opposition Ottoman al-Shabaab an opportunity. Before the al-Shabaab also ceded Libya, their prestige in the Ottoman Empire was also shaken. The Free Harmony took the opportunity to overthrow the Ottoman al-Shabab regime in July 1912, but the Union Progress Council was saved by the military prestige of party leader Enver. Now facing the situation that the Ottomans have to cede territory,

Al-Shabaab saw an opportunity.

Enver told Al-Shabaab members at a secret gathering within Al-Shabaab. “As you have all seen, the Free and Harmony Party accused us of betraying the country by ceding the Libyan region to our Al-Shabaab. However, they did not hesitate to cede Macedonia and Thrace, and they pretended that they could only beg for peace. But Everyone has seen that the newly appointed army commander-in-chief Nizam Pasha is a person who knows nothing about military affairs. Look at what battles he fought. It took him only one month to consume the 350,000 elite Ottoman army. If it is exhausted, the enemy will be in the city, and for the sake of the Ottoman motherland, we must do something.”

His words resonated within the al-Shabaab, mainly young students, military officers, and intellectuals, who began to prepare to overthrow the government of the Free Harmony Party.

The Al-Shabaab leader Enver, whose full name is Ismail Enver Pasha, was born in Constantinople on November 22, 1881, from an Albanian family. His father was a local bridgekeeper and his mother was an Albanian farmer. In 1903 he graduated from the Military Academy in Istanbul. In 1906 he became a major and was sent to the Third Army, stationed in Thessaloniki. During this time he joined a local organization called the United Progressive Council.

In 1908, Austria-Hungary, Tsarist Russia and Britain planned to split the weak Ottoman Empire. The Young Turks announced their "opposition to the government and the Levi's Agreement" and demanded "freedom, equality, and fraternity", and launched a revolution to overthrow Sudan. Enver joined the Revolutionary Army at this time and became the leader of the army. After successfully seizing power, he urged Germany to form a military alliance and asked Germany to help reform the Ottoman army.

So the German government prefers Enver to their Ottoman executives, and they do it too. When Enver was preparing to change the current situation of Ottoman through a coup d’etat, the German government increased its funding to him, raising his monthly payment from 200,000 marks to 500,000 marks. He was also aided and facilitated by his military advisers and ambassadors in the Ottomans.

The current Ottoman government has no knowledge of this, and is still discussing the negotiation, but in the face of the conditions that the Balkan countries will not give in at all, they are negotiating the conditions for preparing to accept this humiliation.

At this time, the al-Shabaab was ready for a reactionary coup. On January 23, 1913, marked by the shooting death of the army commander Nizam Pasha at the entrance of the army department, the al-Shabaab launched a coup, and the government did not accept their coup at all. There is no defense. These al-Shababs have bloodbathed high-ranking government officials, including the current Prime Minister Mahadkay and other high-level officials who died in the coup.

After al-Shabaab came to power, they tore up the truce with the Balkan countries, and the war in the Balkans began again.
